Error description

  • This APAR will be used for documentation changes for the z
    Workload Scheduler product (all releases).  Please number all
     entries beginning with (1).
    (1) In the "Workload Automation Programming Language for z/OS
    User's Guide and Reference Version 10.1
    (Revised December 2023)"
    there is a typo at table 83 + 45 for CPSAI.
    Please change the argument name 'COMMETXT' to 'COMMTEXT'.
    .
    (2) In the Customization and Tuning Guide, under OPCOPTS
        statement, add a note under the EXIT01SZ parameter
        that although larger values can be coded, the maximum
        size that will be used is 65,534  (64K). However it is
        not recommended to make this value larger than required
        as it can cause a lot of memory to be used
    .
    (3) In the WAPL manual in table 9 for the DELETE AD add the
    VALFROM value in the argument name and in the description
    Valid-from date
    .
    (4) To better document an existing requirement that any
    task having an OMVS segment must have a HOME directory
    for which the userid has write access, in the Planning
    and Installation Guide, migration chapter (chapter 6)
    after section:
    "Running on upgraded operating systems"  add a new section
    "HOME directory requirements for started tasks" and
    include the following text:
    To avoid error message EQQHT03E and/or EQQPH62E any task
    which is required to have an OMVS segment (including
    controller, server , output collector, datastore, and
    TCP connected tracker tasks), must have a HOME
    directory in its OMVS segment and this directory must
    exist and be mounted, and the started task must have
    write access to this HOME directory.
    .
    For example if you have a task named TESTF which is required
    to have an OMVS segment, the RACF commad
    LU TESTF OMVS NORACF
    must show a HOME directory, for example
    HOME= /u/TESTF
    and the userid TESTF which is the associated userid for
    task TESTF, must have WRITE access to this HOME directory.
    .
    Also in the Planning and Installation Guide
    chapter 4, section "Step 7. Setting up the RACF® environment"
    add after "MONOPTS statement.";
    See section "HOME directory requirements for started tasks"
    in chapter 6.
    .
    Also in section Step 18 add after the sentence
    "You always have to define OMVS segments for server started
    tasks.":
    See section "HOME directory requirements for started tasks"
    in chapter 6.
    Also at the end of section "Step 19. Activating support for
    end-to-end scheduling with z-centric capabilities" add:
    The userid of the output collector task will require an
    OMVS segment with a HOME directory.  See section
    "HOME directory requirements for started tasks"  in chapter 6.
    Also in section "Step 20. Activating support for Dynamic
    Workload Console"  in subsection "Activating server support for
    the Dynamic Workload Console"  after the sentence:
    "You always have to define OMVS segments for IBM Z Workload
    Scheduler server started tasks" add:  See section
    "HOME directory requirements for started tasks" in chapter 6.
    .
    (5) In order to avoid getting an error like
    ICH408I USER(uuuuuu ) GROUP(gggg) CL(PROCESS) OMVS SEGMENT
    NOT DEFINED
    for a controller task which has ROUTOPTS HTTP or ROUTOPTS
    HTTPS in effect, the following change needs to be made to the
    Planning and Installation Guide, chapter 4, section
    Step 7. Setting up the RACF® environment, subsection:
    Controlling the user ID of the address space,
    after:
    TPLGYSRV parameter in the OPCOPTS statement.
    TCPIP parameter in the ROUTOPTS statement.
    MONOPTS statement, add:
    HTTP or HTTPS parameter in the ROUTOPTS statement.
    .
